Plywood

Plywood is arguably the most versatile and durable building material available, and an essential commodity in both interior applications and exterior construction. Over time, we have perfected the manufacture of plywood to provide National with a distinct advantage at every step. Our plywood is synonymous with quality, durability and reliability.

Black boards

Block boards, comprising a core of strips of hardwood within a hardwood frame sandwiched between two or more layers of veneers on either side, are known for their extraordinary strength, dimensional stability and durability. With their immense load bearing capacity, lightweight nature and low bendability, block boards are perfect for furniture building as in tables, shelves, cabinets and benches, and in vertical applications such as wardrobes, doors, panels, partitions, etc.

Doors

Doors are not only essential for privacy and security, but form integral parts of the structure and design of a space. Doors need to be durable, impenetrable, resistant to water, insects and extreme weather conditions and must not change their shape, or warp, over time. A flush door, named so because of its smooth, seamless surface, is composed of a pre-fixed timber frame (comprising horizontal rails and vertical stiles) with a solid block board type core sandwiched between two or more layers of veneer on either side. The door is then covered with decorative veneer for aesthetic value.

Flexi ply

Flexi ply is a form of plywood but it is extremely flexible. Thin marine plywood can be forced to form curves and bends, but eventually it will split, if pressured too far. Normal plywood tends to resist bending.

Particle Boards

Particle board is cheaper, denser and more uniform than conventional wood and plywood and is substituted for them when cost is more important than strength and appearance.

MDF

Medium-density fibreboard (MDF) is an engineered wood product made by breaking down hardwood or softwood residuals into wood fibres, often in a defibrator, combining it with wax and a resin binder, and forming it into panels by applying high temperature and pressure.
